What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
Is this legit? My postal worker brother says you can't be notified of class action status by email, that it must be by first class U.S. mail.
Is this true? Was it true and courts are now allowing email notifications. I have only received an email no post card (that I know of)
=========================
This is what I received....in an email from "VERIZON SERVICES"......not the entire notice obviously......
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT NOTICE
A federal court authorized this Notice. Read this Notice carefully. Your legal rights may be affected.
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SUED. THIS IS TO NOTIFY YOU THAT YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO BENEFITS.
United States District Court for the Northern District of California
Moore et al. v. Verizon et al., Class Action Case No. 09-cv-1823 SBA

You Received This Notice Because Verizon's Records Indicate You Were Billed For Third-Party Charges Between April 27, 2005 And February 28, 2012 And May Be Entitled To A Payment From this Class Action Settlement.
A Settlement has been preliminarily approved by the Court in a class action lawsuit against Verizon alleging that it billed landline phone customers for unauthorized charges from third-party companies (a practice known as "cramming"), in violation of federal and state law. Verizon denies any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided in favor of either the plaintiffs or defendants. Instead, both sides have agreed to settle the lawsuit in order to avoid the cost, delay, and uncertainty of litigation. The Settlement calls for payments to Class Members who file approved claims and injunctive relief designed to prevent future cramming.
